10517 —השתדלות בטבע, חכמת הבורא, והבנת האדם

Effort in Nature, Divine Wisdom, and Human Understanding

[ה'תשל"ב]
The Rebbe writes that one should make natural efforts and will succeed with G-d's help. He acknowledges that even he and those greater than him do not always understand the way the world is run, but this is not surprising since a created being cannot fully grasp the Creator's wisdom.

[ה'תשל"ב]

שלום וברכה!

אזכירו עוה"פ עה"צ להמצטרך לו.

ויה"ר שיעשה את התלוי בו בדרך הטבע – ויצליח ויבש"ט.

לכתבו ע"ד ההנהגה בעולם וכו' – הנה גם אני וגם טובים ממני יש שאינם מבינים אותה – אבל

מה

פלא באם נברא אינו משיג חכמת הבורא?

[5732]

Shalom u'Vrachah!

I will mention it at an auspicious time for what is needed for him. And he should see to it to do what depends on him in the natural way—and he will succeed and be blessed.

Regarding what you wrote about the conduct of the world, etc.—behold, both I and those better than me sometimes do not understand it—but what wonder is there if a created being does not comprehend the wisdom of the Creator?


Summary

The Rebbe teaches that while we must make our own efforts within nature, ultimate success comes from above. It is normal not to understand G‑d's ways; as creations, we cannot expect to fully grasp the Creator's wisdom.
